Krystian Dyu '''Tribute to history, For Nicolaus Copernicus – For Everyone by Everyone.''' > “The firmament does not whirl in the illusion of egocentrism… yet man rises in the radiance of eternal truth. In the spherical geometry of the stars, he discerned a subtle, axiomatic order of orbit and eccentricity… in the harmonic numbers of the spirit — the deterministic sense of the cosmos. Let the Earth blossom in the rhythm of hidden harmony of proportion and amplitude, and man… let him not be its end… but the preamble of reasoned thought, unfolding in secret sequences of growth and proportion…” "God is the definition of the depth of the science of unknowing, of the lack of definition." [With God!!!] ___ Nicolaus Copernicus — master of stars and numbers, astronomer, mathematician, physician, and jurist, economist, cartographer, canon, humanist. He gazed at the heavens to understand the Earth, and at the Earth to comprehend the heavens. He drew maps, studied the rhythms of planets, solved equations, treated the sick, calculated revenues and taxes, wrote church laws, bringing order to chaos. And in a moment of trial, when Poland stood in the Olsztyn war (1519) to defend its borders, Copernicus took up the sword and led, to protect his home and his nation. His mind, like the spheres of stars, moved in harmony, uniting science, art, and duty, showing that a human can be versatile and great, and that understanding the world demands courage, reason, and heart.
